serviced 110,organised a new windscreen for 9am today, pulled swivel hub and diff from d1 for replacement ,mounted and wired in horn centre on s 1,rebuilt a clear hooter horn with a motorbike horn internals.fitting numberplate holder and started timimg chain and exhaust valve grind .:(
Sick of windscreen leaking from both top edges, and still leaking after sealing the outside, dropped the roof lining in the front, just enough to get to the screen top, used roof gutter sealant all along the top, into the corners, left the D2 out in the torrential rain, no leaks. So far :) Bob
Finally got around to installing some roof rails that were kindly donated to me by "g2landyman" :D
probably would have been a lot easier with a 32mm hole saw but I managed to do a reasonably tidy job just using a 1/2" drill piece. bit of a mission but got it done.

I reckon the disco just looks incomplete without them.
Also scored myself a 12000lb warn high mount winch today, 2nd hand, in need of a rebuild, should be a good little project (bit of an upgrade from the aldi one currently fitted)...now just got to work out a "nice" way to cut up my arb deluxe bar to fit it :s

Picked up a box of goodies that came from the UK, it's for our TD5 Defer project AlexH and myself are restoring and the freight time was well under a week from that UK supplier.
Sorry to all those local suppliers who have missed out on a order, the price, availability and delivery time just beats our local suppliers on all counts.
In the same time, are still waiting for just the reply from a couple of these locals.

G'day Lux
High Mounts aren't that hard to fit up to an ARB bar. Just need to notch out the top plate to make it fit.
I can't be 100% sure if my old one was an ARB or not, but a quick word with rangieman (Chris) will confirm with a pic of where the cuts were made. I just used an angle grinder, took me the best part of a morning from memory, the biggest problem I had was dealing with the weight of it all when trying to put it all back together.
I think I may have some pics which I will try and send you.
perfect! this is good news :thumbsup: (I really do like my bar)Quote:

I will document and post pics for others who wish to attempt the same.
Thanks!
No worries man you wouldn't happen to know anyone that wants to swap an ARB bar for a tjm bar? I like the ARB's better.Quote:
